It's a very good TV series and arguably one of the best science fiction series ever made. However, the sexual content is abundant (even though no actual nudity is shown, it's consistently inappropriate) and I found the preoccupation with God and the one Messianic character to border so badly on blasphemy that I decided to stop watching it.

Battlestar galactica is a good drama syfy show but has some bad stuff like limited sex scenes and violence.the sex is pretty strong for tv.but it is a good show and I recomend it if you are ok with that kind of stuff.its over now so you should get it on dvd

My husband and I are big sci-fi fans but decided to stop watching this fascinating show half-way through the first season. Although the episodes we watched were grim and tense, with very few light or uplifting momements, we were engaged by the story and the complex characters, and we wanted to keep watching. However, there is too much explicit sex, skimpy clothing, and upsetting violence (a main character tortures a prisoner and a woman is brutally beaten by another woman). I would not let my teenagers watch this.

This is one of my favorite programs, but it comes with substantial sexual content/violent scenes. This is matched, however, by the maturity of its social commentary on human behavior and exposition of the inward journeys of its characters.

This is some of the best writing and performing currently on TV. It's filled with characters who are simply not possible to tag as "good" or "bad". If your teen is interested and capable of following the complex story lines and morally testing themes, than I'd recommend it. It's not just science fiction - it's terrific drama. My 14 year old daughter and I are big fans.

I am a huge science fiction fan of much of what is in the movies and t.v.(Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.), but this show should only be for 18 years and older. The significant violence that began the new series has now added drug use, attempted rape, and many other inappropriate material for non-adults. I let my kids watch Stargate and some episodes of Stargate Atlantis, but I won't let them watch this because of its many mature themes and material.

One of the best shows ever. Up there with House and Bones. Very intriguing plot and complex moral themes (like a robot pregnant with a human's baby). Lots of action and drama. The violence isn't very bad since the enemies are robots. The sex kicks the show up a notch because there is one robot woman who's sole purpose seems to be to be seductive towards a human man. The language consists mostly of things like "Frack" and "by the Gods" but also includes the occasional "D**n," "Hell," "(son of a) B***h," "A**," or "B*****d." Very good and not so objectionable. Give it a watch. Then another. Heck, watch the whole series.

Battle star Galactica came into television having to top the older version of the series. They did it!! They did it amazingly. Everytime I think I got the story figured out a new twist comes along. The language is very minimum is less you count "Frack" which is used commomly. Some of the sex scenes are pretty racy with nudity implied, but only last a minute or last. Violence is a big part of the show, with some episodes showing major gore. Alcohol is used by everyone in the show. Main characters use it frequently, getting drunk often.

This is an amazing show that isn't really Sci-Fi. In fact, it could very well take place on a naval ship in the current day, or even in Vietnam. There is a lot of violence (given that it's a really realistic show, and even some of the robots that DON'T look like us have blood) and could be renamed Battlestar Erotica. But for any kid 13 and up (or if it's a mature 11 or 12 year old), it should be a must-see.

Well this might confuse some kids under 14 but i highly reccomend it
